A Twitter campaign to get Justin Bieber to send a condolence tweet for two Brandeis High School students who died in a crash during their lunch break Tuesday is trending nationally on the social media website.

#BieberforLerma has been a top-trending topic on Twitter since Thursday morning, with tweeters trying to get the pop star to tweet #RIPGabbyLerma.

“I was very close to Gabby; I talked to her every day, and we would always talk about Justin,” said Kevin Mace, 17, a Brandeis junior who started the trending topic. “I remember one time she said she would love to get tweeted by him. After everything happened, I thought it was right to get Justin to recognize her.”

At a candlelight vigil at Brandeis High School on Wednesday night, Mace encouraged students to get the pop superstar's Twitter attention for Lerma, who was a Bieber fan. Mace is surprised the request has gotten so much traction.

“From one little tweet, it's come this big. I hope he gets to see it and tweet it—that would mean everything,” said Mace, who created a poster that read “Keep it Trending—#BieberForLerma.” The poster, signed by Brandeis students, was hung in a Brandeis High School hallway.

#BieberforGina was added to trending topics surrounding the tragedy after Rodriguez died at University Hospital late Wednesday.

Bieber has yet to respond.

The vigil itself, which drew an estimated 300 people, was organized through a Tweet by Brandeis senior Sky Tschirhart, 18, who said she found out about the devastating wreck while she was home sick from school Tuesday.

“Immediately after it happened, I already knew about it because of the power of Twitter,” she said.
